I have a problem with my GPU.
All of the games I am playing working fine. No errors, no crashes.
Actually I would similar to sell my organisation and before I tried some stress tests and there the problem occurs.
Furmark crashes, plan close not a crash of the wohle organization, I can starting time a new run
3D Marker doesn't work, same behavior as in Furmark
OCCT is too chrashing
Unigine is working fine without whatever issues

I tried the Afterburner with -100MHz GPU and -100Mhz VRAM
--> Furmark has no problems in a run arround two hours
--> OCCT no problem
--> Unigine also no problem
--> Firestrike is working i run, stability test I don't know
--> TimeSpy doesn't work in one run

I take no really idea because I never had a problem beforce the stress test. The card has no bug in games, yesterday I used the card in another system, 4K games (with not that much FPS) only no problems in APEX

Do you lot take some ideas?
requite the system a fresh install before sale, try again.
that unbranded psu could be an issue downwardly the line.
Please detach the entire computer, make clean it thoroughly, wipe it, gather it again, and retest. If the parts are used for a long time, the slots will go dusty and contaminated, and disassemble the graphics card to clean the dust and reapply thermal grease. Then try the exam again. Information technology could also exist due to fever. Exam once again in a cool place, disassemble the graphics card and reapply thermal grease. Besides, remove any dust from the cooler. And if the CPU pin contacts are clean. Is the ram's contact point make clean? Exist sure to check the cleanliness of the graphics card slot. In general, NVIDIA graphics cards have a long lifespan and rarely fail due to defects, breakdowns and obsolescence. And test it past re-installing the Bone and graphics menu driver. If you nonetheless take problems, y'all take a small-scale flaw in your graphics carte du jour. Leave it to a specialist for repairs.
Definitely an PSU isnt able to supply enough power to the System under load, try undervolting your GPU and run the tests.

I had the aforementioned trouble years agone with a 780. After about two years of use, it started crashing unless I underclocked it. It had nothing to exercise with the PSU. The video card (a cheap Palit model, cheapest 780 I could notice) just went bad. Did the same affair in another PC as well. When I sent it back under warranty, they were able to ostend the issue likewise.
I'm non saying it's not the PSU in your example, but people immediately blaming the PSU is wrong. It's perfectly possible it'southward the GPU that went bad.
Could be number of things here, could be the motherboard, psu, Surge Protector(Absolutely yeah), Gpu, etc.
Do you have another good working psu handy? If not, have you tried putting that 980 of yours into another PC if its still doing the same matter?

Also, what is your Max Temps please? Thank you.

Information technology is not the PSU for sure because I tried 3 of them.
The cheap one with the result as described
I put the bill of fare in the computer of my son with a 3700x and a MSI X570 Pro Carbon, same result games OK (that was the mentioned 4K game examination (in that location was a crash in Fortnite for one time, other time OK, Noon no Problem, Valorant also, every game in 4K) The PSU in that location is a DarkPowerPro with 750W and ordinarily he has a 2070s in his setup
Furthermore I tried a new Thermaltake 600W PSU (not the best but I think enough for the examination.
--> Games OK (unless the one crash in Fornite) Criterion only with underclockingSee above, max temperatur in a ii hours Furmark was 71°C
Where I tin can find the Surge Protector and how information technology is possible to test?
Thank you for the help!

I did everything, the wohle system is on a benchtable and completly cleaned. New grease, dismounted ii times.
OS is new, bodily commuter installed.
I remember there is a minor flaw considering with underclocking likewise the benchmarks are running fine.
I recollect repairing is too expensive.
And so your not using a Surge Protecter? Are you running directly through the Wall?
Question, ever had the system unexpectedly shut down? Bsod???

If so, under Result Viewer>Windows Logs>System, do you you see any critical error's? If and so, What does it say underneath under general/details, thanks.
Running a faulty 980Ti hither, i've tried every trick there is bar underclocking the card. I go about ane-2 hours of gaming on certain games and then bluescreens or desktop crashes. I opened the card and repasted the processor, can't see whatsoever burnouts, i'd suggest you exercise the same and give those PCI slots a little air blast.
Whatever y'all do, don't put the card in the oven.
putting it in the oven is fine, for softening and resetting solder assurance.
won't do much for your SC though, if its non the R33 inductors, its usually 1 of the vram ability circuits that is on its way out and it'll eventually accident out taking the imc and peradventure modules with it.
Saddened to hear of my cards fate, i usually only play old RTS games then don't even actually take a need for a newer card.
